So I saw a crocheted wire necklace at a local bead store a couple of weeks ago, and decided that I wanted to learn how to do it, so I did!! I have made a couple of items so far, and am really happy with how they turned out! Here are a couple of pics:

This great shop is full of amazing crystal clusters! And when I say 'amazing' I mean REALLY Amazing! There are so many really cool rocks to be found here, but this one is one of my favorites! Spectrolite Crystal Cluster!

Angel Ray has a talent that I didn't even realize existed until I saw her beautiful shop! Who knew that silk scarves could be hand painted? She has so many gorgeous designs that it is definitely hard to just pick one, but here is the one I want to share with you: "Merlot Symphony"

This shop is full of beautiful and unique handmade women's clothing. This wonderful artist loves to make unique, feminine and flattering pieces, with a big focus on beautiful colors and funky vintage inspired prints. Here is one of my favorites from her shop called "Brown and Crimson Flower Print Skirt."

This is such a cute shop full of adorable things. They have things for babies, as well as adults that "find the fun in functional." One of my favorite items is called "Patchwork Blanket with Minky for Baby Boys." It is adorable!! I really want a girl version!!

So I realized that I hadn't updated you all on how my openhouse went. So here's the update!!

I was very pleased with how it turned out. I didn't have many people come, BUT I had a 100% sale rate, so I can't complain about that!! Also I got a 4 custom orders to keep me busy!! So all in all I would say it was a successful first openhouse. Hopefully I will have many more to come!

Here are a couple of pictures of my display. They aren't the best pictures, but it gives you an idea of how I had everything set up.

Man do I love giveaways, especially when I win!! I entered a giveaway from My Watercolor Dreams and won a free print of one of her original water color paintings. I chose "Laundry Day" because she makes laundry day seem like such a happy thing, and in my world it is NOT!! So I figured that I would hang it up in my laundry area to cheer me up when I am doing the dreaded chore of laundry!!
